Only see the 260z and the RX7 running 10's. Am I missing something? :)

Not bad, though, guys. Can you scam the system and sell the car to each other for, say, $300, which would allow 1700 to spend on it for next year? lol That would be sweet.

Damn, they are smart. Reading the rules...


23) Past Challenge Cars: Past Challenge cars may be entered as long as they meet all current rules.
A) Past Challenge cars and their parts cannot be sold and repurchased in an effort to depreciate their value for budget purposes. If parts are sold off the past Challenge car, the amount "credited" to the budget cannot exceed A) fair market value at today's prices AND B) must meet all other challenge rules (ie, if you sold $300 worth of parts off of your $300 car for the last challenge, you can't credit yourself $200 for a bumper that you took off for the upcoming challenge, as you've already credited yourself the maximum amount per previous challenge budgeting).



Although it doesn't say that it can't be sold to Joe Neighbor for $300, and he competes. Maybe a loophole?

I think it ran a 10 during testing beforehand.

[ucsigep]

I know this, it was a jab at JP. :)

NDRA national's at Norwalk..JP left the line with a quickness. 1.68 60'! Bang! Goes second gear and the poor little slicks are begging for mercy. BANG goes 3rd gear and the slicks scream again. Crossing the 1/8mile mark in 7.0 seconds. Into 4th he goes and crosses the traps with a quickness. A very quick looking pass it was, as the timing boards light up it reassured us. 10.97@125.5mph..
What happend in Florida?:confused

Funny enough- we went back to the dyno and picked up another 35whp over when I drove the car. It is reflected in the 127.xx trap speeds in Florida, even tough it was 30+ deg warmer.

But, I was not in Florida to drive. Blame the 11.5's at the shootout on a bad driver's gasket. ;)


I think the car given similar circumstances as when I went 10.9 has a 10.7 in it, but anything more is going to be tuff with stock sized slicks and WWD.
